Life was different in the past.

Time went slowly, not so fast.

Children had fun all day long,

Running and jumping and singing a song.

Life is easy these days.

Machines help in many ways.

Time goes fast but it's OK.

We still have lots of time to play!

过去的生活是不同的。

时间过得很慢，没这么快。

孩子们整天都玩得很开心，

跑步、跳并唱歌。

如今生活容易了。

机器在很多方面帮忙。

时间过得很快，但是没关系。

我们仍然有许多时间玩耍！
